Mexico: Ley Trasciende

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 30
PROGRAM #11316 12:00 PM PT

Mexico Edition.

As Mexico prepares to mark the traditional Día de Muertos, civil society groups are stepping up calls on the federal Congress to pass the “Ley Trasciende,” along with complementary legislation in Mexico City, to legalize medical aid in dying and euthanasia. Both measures are being championed by activist Samara Martínez, who is terminally ill. Religious groups oppose the proposals, while President Sheinbaum has called for a broad national debate on the issue. Analysts discuss these developments and other news.
